The post Bitcoin Price Rips Higher As Fed Signals Dovish Shift appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin surged 5% (about $5,000) following Jerome Powell’s remarks at the Federal Reserve’s annual Jackson Hole symposium, igniting fresh momentum in a bull market that has been quietly grinding higher since early 2024.

This is more than just a short-term rally. It could be the inflection point that turns a steady, resilient bull market into a raging one. The Fed’s posture has been the one remaining damper on bitcoin’s upside.
